Random image in header

[binh25]

Hi
Is it possible to modify the template to have a random image display on the header?
something similar to http://www.cmsmadesimple.org coconut tree picture.
I got a dozen or some images I want to randomly rotate to make it more interesting.

Can I do something like this? I tried and it doesnt work

/* HEADER */
        div#header {
          background:  url({random_image dir="uploads/images"}) no-repeat 198px 15px;
            display: block;
            height: 80px;
            text-indent: -700em;         
            margin: 0%;
            padding: 0;
            text-decoration:none;

   
        }

is this for one page only?
i think you would want to put it in the header.. url is looking for an img. that's why it doesn't work....
{random_image dir="uploads/images"}

if you look in the Help for the tag you will see the paramaters it takes, size etc....

I did something like this for a recent site where it was the background image that neaded to be different for each page. I was able to find a great php script that does just that.

Just create a folder and place the images you want to rotate into it. Then your css fil would look like this:

Code: Select all

/* HEADER */
        div#header {
          background:  url(uploads/path/to/folder/rotator.php) no-repeat 198px 15px;
            display: block;
            height: 80px;
            text-indent: -700em;           
            margin: 0%;
            padding: 0;
            text-decoration:none;
}

Just make sure your path is correct.

Hope this helps!
